We describe a further case of SHORT syndrome. This girl shows nearly all the typical
manifestations reported in patients with SHORT syndrome. However, at 14 years she
presented with non‐ketotic hyperglycemia. At 161/2 years, the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
secondary to severe insulin resistance was made by intravenous insulin challenge. Insulin
resistant diabetes mellitus seems to be a new finding in SHORT syndrome, not previously
described in this condition.© 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
